A 19-year-old Rutgers student has died following what reports call a "small gathering" at a fraternity house. Alcohol may have been a factor in Caitlyn Kovacs' death, which is currently under police investigation; an autopsy will reveal the cause. The New Jersey resident passed out at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house; friends took her to the hospital around 3am yesterday, at which point she "appeared to be in distress," a prosecutor says, as the Daily Targum reports.

She was pronounced dead shortly afterward, and hospital staff notified police. Friends remember Kovacs fondly, calling her "upbeat" and "bubbly," NJ.com reports. "She was a good kid with a good head on her shoulders," says a high school classmate. "We’re pretty torn up over here. It’s very raw," says the president of Rutgers' Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter, as WNBC reports. In a statement, the fraternity has offered its "deepest condolences to the family and friends of Caitlyn Kovacs" and Rutgers students.

There may or may not be benefit (s) joining fraternities. To have the honor of being welcomed to a fraternity after going though pain and sorrow of hazing and in worst scenario - dying like what happened to this young lady, they can have their fraternity through eternity by themselves.
